1/ 🌳 New research from the WrEN project reveals that larger and structurally complex woodland creation sites offer greater benefits for woodland plants! 🌱 Main findings below! 👇

Are woodland plants 🌻colonising newly created woodlands 🌳? 👇 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/26…

And here is a link to the paper besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/26…

‘Are woodland plants 🌻colonising newly created woodlands🌳?’ See poster at @UK_Treescapes conference in Glasgow with a journal paper on the way. You can also keep up to date on the benefits of woodland creation for biodiversity @ wren-project.com

🌳 Land managers, what are your views on expanding tree cover? Fill in our online survey to help inform our research: 📢 ow.ly/SuzO50Qk6RJ This will help inform research focused on tree cover expansion through #TreePlanting and #NaturalColonisation. @StirUni @reheatRT

@watts_km The @NERCscience @UK_Treescapes project ‘TreE_PlaNat’ is exploring the use of both #TreePlanting & #NaturalColonisation (and mixes of both) to create new forests 🌳 @natcolonisation naturalcolonisation.co.uk

🚨 FUNDED PHD ALERT🚨 Apply for a PhD gathering empirical evidence of ecological time-lags with @watts_km, @nanimuelbert and me @GeogBham The successful candidate would have the chance to build on existing theoretical work led by the team. centa.ac.uk/studentship/20…
